What a super place to stay in Montagu. We were warmly welcomed by Simon and were soon joined by his delightful wife, Wendy and their little daughter Kaylee Anne. The bedroom was comfortable and quiet, off the inner courtyard.We met early in the evening for a drink in their bar which is decorated with interesting 'quotes' from people as diverse as Nelson Mandela to Marilyn Munroe. After a friendly chat about the local area and our travel plans, we ate a most delicious meal cooked by Wendy. The food was of the highest quality and presentation. The menu was limited and diverse and capable of adaptation. A good selection of wine, all at reasonable prices. Well worth a visit, we'd go again.

Had a great three-day stay at Four Oaks and were well looked after by Wendy, Simon and little Kaylee who went out of their way to make us comfortable and especially my 89-year old mother. Wonderful food, wine and conversation. Centrally situated and within easy walking distance of all local historic sites and 'town' centre. Compliments to Simon and Wendy for their tasteful, but funky decor - updating heritage with modern touches. Looking forward to more of Wendy's superb cooking and baking - a little bird told me that she makes wonderful cakes...

Room Tip: All rooms are quiet as they face on to interior courtyard.

Had such a lovely time at the Four Oaks with Wendy and Simon. The Food is to die for (especially the chocolate mousse) all home made too. The setting picturesque and just a wonderful homely family experience. Great value for money! Boasts some of the better wines in the region too. Highly recommend it to anyone popping through this quaint little town.Thanks again to the Bernstein's for a fabulous stay!

We stayed here for one night on our way down to the Garden Route. Simon explained to us the circumstances of him having only recently taken over the running of this lovely guest house and then proceeded to make our stay extremely welcoming and comfortable. Simon is clearly very passionate about the guest house and it really felt that he would go out of his way to ensure that guests and diners were having a lovely time.

We also had the pleasure of eating dinner and Wendy's cooking was delicious. A very impressive menu and equally impressive (and diverse) wine list.

I would thoroughly recommend a stay here.
